The reader will agree, quite an effort.

Senator Tom Cotton said the judge “might have” defended Nazis during the Nuremberg trials.

“The last Judge Jackson left the Supreme Court to go to Nuremberg and prosecute the case against the Nazis,” the Arkansas senator said on 5 April, referring to former Justice Robert H Jackson, who was appointed chief counsel in the prosecution of Nazi war criminals.

“This Judge Jackson might have gone there to defend them,” Senator Cotton added.

Republican officials have scrutinised Judge Jackson’s record as a federal public defender representing detainees in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, despite the right of counsel enshrined in the US Constitution. She also did not choose her clients. (Does the GQP recognize the Constitution or only the 2d A and the right of so-call Christians to be bigots?)

“The fact that a brilliant black woman is going to be a Supreme Court judge offends him so much that he doesn’t even realize he just came out against due process,” said US Rep Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

“What a joke,” she added.

Cotton is too blinded by his hatred of a black woman ascending to the SC for the first time in over two-hundred and forty years to remember Sam Adams.

Wish we hadn't banned history, someone could tell Cotton about Sam Adams.
